Wallpaper - Greetings from Wilmington - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Wilmington wallpaper brings the visual character of mid-century screenprinted postcards directly to the wall. Created by The Tichnor Brothers, this design centres on bold typography spelling out the Delaware city, with each letter filled with illustrations of local landmarks. The motif sits over a soft powder blue base anchored by vibrant diagonal stripes in orange, yellow, green, and purple, capturing the graphic energy of 1940s Americana travel art. Printed as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, it offers a distinct, graphic focal point that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the composition functions as a complete graphic postcard, we see this wall mural working best on a wide, relatively uninterrupted feature wall where the full lettering and diagonal bands have room to register. In a living room, placing the design behind a low sofa or along an open main wall ensures the illustrated landmark details inside each letter remain clearly visible rather than hidden behind tall furniture. The bright diagonal lines and high-contrast lettering also make an engaging impression in an entryway, where the welcoming postcard theme sets an immediate tone as you step inside.

Styling it

With such an expressive, graphic composition, we would keep the surrounding decor relatively simple to let the wallpaper carry the visual energy of the room.

Mid-century modern pieces, clean-lined low sideboards, and painted furniture in neutral tones sit comfortably alongside the retro aesthetic without competing with the bold Americana artwork. To balance the vibrant palette, we recommend sticking to quiet textiles and uncluttered surfaces, allowing the detailed illustrations within the letters to stand out as the primary visual feature.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper combines a gentle powder blue backdrop with vivid accents of bright orange, golden yellow, grass green, and deep purple. When planning surrounding surfaces, we suggest drawing on the lighter powder blue or a neutral off-white for adjacent walls to keep the space open and balanced. If you prefer to echo the energetic stripes, consider introducing small accents in burnt orange or muted gold through cushions, painted woodwork, or occasional furniture.
